CL-H601A
2. Operating Precautions
(1) When scanning highly reflective materials (such as gold, silver, copper, or aluminum),
be sure to contact us.
Depending on use conditions, the inside of the scanner head unit may be burnt.
(2) A person knowledgeable about laser radiation and laser systems should be
appointed as a laser safety manager.
The laser safety manager should be responsible for managing the system key
switches, providing safety instruction to laser operators, and supervising
operations.
(3) Areas in which lasers are used must be partitioned from other areas by enclosing
with fences.
These areas should be managed by a supervisor and marked with signs to
prevent entry by unauthorized personnel.
(4) The system should be used in an ambient temperature range of 15°C to 35°C and
humidity 80% RH or lower with no sudden temperature fluctuations. Avoid using the
system in the following locations.
•Locations with dust or oil mist present
•Locations subject to vibration or impact
•Locations in which chemicals are used
•Locations subject to high noise
•Locations susceptible to condensation
•Locations with high concentrations of CO2, NOx, or SOx(The ion-exchange
resin life may be reduced by exposure to CO2concentrations of 0.1% or more.)
(5) There is a risk of condensation forming on the lens surface and debris adhering if the
ambient temperature changes suddenly such as when turning on the heating in cold
conditions. Avoid sudden temperature fluctuations. There is a likelihood that
condensation has formed if the output decreases during initial operation. Stop using
the system immediately, and check the lens surface if there is a likelihood of
condensation.
(6) The exterior of the system should be wiped clean using a soft or moist cloth. If the
exterior is particularly dirty, wipe clean using diluted detergent or alcohol.
(7) Do not drop foreign objects such as screws inside the system, as this may result in
failure of the system.
(8) Operate the system as described in the attached Operation Manual.
(9) Do not turn off the power switch of the laser control unit while a computer is
connected to the laser control unit.
(10) If a computer is connected, it will continue to access the memory card for about 15
seconds after going offline. During this time, do not turn off the power switch of the
laser control unit.
(11) If a computer is connected, never disconnect the LAN cable before turning off the
power switch of the laser control unit.

* The type and size of the optical fiber connector are different according to the manufacturer and type
of the laser equipment to use, and a sufficient clearance may not be secured. Refer to the operation
manual for the laser equipment to be combined to install the scanner head unit.
Keep the following points in mind when installing the scanner head unit.
(1) The work distance is the distance from the outermost surface of the fθ lens’ protective
glass to the focal position. Depending on differences in scanning conditions and from
device to device, the work distance may result in slight variations. Make sure the
scanner head unit is installed to permit adjustment in the range of ±10 mm relative to
these values.
(2) Install the scanner head unit so that you can adjust and maintain level after
installation.
(3) For the scanner head unit mounting platform, use a sheet of metal at least 10 mm
thick.
(4) Protect the mounting platform from vibrations.
Vibrations of 0.1 G or less during operations are generally acceptable, but even
lesser vibrations under certain conditions may affect or distort scanning or lead
to damage.
(5) Keep the mounting platform separate from conveyor lines or other equipment to
prevent vibration and impact.
(6) When using two opposing scanner head units, install them so that the laser of neither
head is aimed at the other head.
A laser directed at parts within the other scanner head unit may burn the unit
interior.
Required Clearance and Mass Support
A. Clearance on fiber insertion part At least 400 mm *1
B. Clearance on right side At least 300 mm
C. Clearance on left side At least 300 mm
D. Clearance in front At least 300 mm
E. Clearance in back At least 350 mm *1
F. Mass Approx. 12 kg
G. Work distance See "Chapter 5-2. Lens Unit Lineup" (page 17) .
The optical fiber has its minimum bending radius. Refer to the operation
manual for the laser equipment connected to install the scanner head unit so
as not to bend the optical fiber beyond its minimum bending radius.
When moving the scanner head unit, support the head on right and left to
avoid touching the collimator unit or the lens. Do not hold the fiber or other
cables.

(7) When scanning highly reflective materials (such as gold, silver, copper, aluminum,
steel, or stainless steel), make sure the focal distance is correct.
Putting workpieces in a position other than the lens focal position may burn the
inside of the scanner head unit due to reflected light from the workpiece.
(8) Install the scanner head unit so that the laser is not aimed at the ceiling.
This precaution is intended to protect users from looking directly into laser
output unit and to facilitate maintenance.
2.2. Connections
(1) Avoid bundling control cables with other power cables.
The resulting electromagnetic noise may cause malfunctions.
(2) When connecting optical fibers, take care to avoid soiling or damaging the ends of
the fiber.
Retain the caps originally attached to the scanner head unit and optical fiber in a
safe location for future use. You will need them again if the optical fiber is
removed.
(3) Use the corresponding MF-C series or CL-P148A for the scanner power supply.
(4) In case of the camera unit attached, a camera and peripheral components are
coming with it. A camera and peripheral components have been assembled. Since
the angle and the focal point have been already adjusted, do not remove or move
them carelessly.
